I have eaten here at least 4-5 times over the past 2 years. I have been really impressed. I love how you can go and choose the meat you want from the big buffet of marinated meats, and how they grill it at the table for you. Very few restaurants let you just go and grab a big pile of meat and then cook it for you. The service has always been great - someone is always attending to your meats, and we get anything we want very fast. One of my favorite things is how they have a larger rectangular grill for the BBQ. This is a major improvement over other places with smaller circular grills. The rectangular grill allows you to fit a lot more meat on the grill. When we first ate here the price was more but they had better meat options, like ribeye etc. They reduced the price but also got rid of best cuts of meat (except the bulgogi which is my favorite). Overall I still really like this place and look forward to going back soon. read more

It was our first time here, we saw the prices displayed while driving by and were intrigued. 20 bucks for K-BBQ lunch? Weren't expecting much and the food turned out to be okay. You get quite a few choices of meat, and for 20 bucks you really can't expect more. There are banchan, rice, soup, fruit and simple desserts too. The problem is, for lunch you only get 60 minutes. They send you the check when your 60 minutes are up and you can finish what's left at your table. It's really rushed, imo, especially because their grill is very small (for 4 people!) and you can only fit so much each time. read more

New York K-BBQ - Korean Near Me - New York, New York

See all

Came here for lunch, which runs 7 days a week, is only 20 dollars, and left me decently satisfied . This honestly is the cheapest ayce korean bbq anywhere around the area and the selection here, for cooked foods, is definitely unique. I had guacamole, cooked salmon and steamed clams which aren't foods that come to mind when you think of Korean food but still enjoyed them regardless. The Korean bbq items here were pretty bad, the beef, especially, the bigger cuts, were extremely tough and chewy, I would stick to the thinner cuts here as quality and tenderness might not be such an issue with these items. The pork options were much better, but as I went for the beef options first, I couldn't fully enjoy the pork options. Come here for a no frills, cheap ayce lunch meal, but expect some of the worst quality cuts of beef you've ever had. read more

Not the best kbbq place in terms of options and quality. Limited food items to choose from, and unfortunately, lacking in flavor. We were a party of 3 and all thought that the meat was bland and not up to par as other places. Service was good. People there were very nice and friendly. Such a disappointment however that the food is not great. Place itself is very modern and neatly decorated! Feels like it would have been a home run, but unfortunately this wasn't the case. I would also note an automatically added 18% gratitude charge on the bill. read more

Came here for AYCE dinner and had a good experience Pros: - Servers were super attentive, helping us with the grilling and clearing the plates so we had more space to enjoy our food - Selection is pretty solid - three whole aisles of food to pick from. The quality isn't mind-blowing, but it definitely hits the spot - Clean bathrooms Cons: - Street parking since it's on Northern Blvd read more

I went here with my boyfriend and it was great. It's self service so you're welcome to choose from the items in the buffet line. I like how there are deals which are posted on the windows so others could see. It is a spacious area fitting the Korean culture vibe with tvs all around blasting Korean music. For a lunch date, it was pretty calm and chill. I took one star off because it would be great if the meats and everything can be checked periodically to ensure cleanliness of stations! read more

We were in the area and just looking for a KBBQ spot with parking. There is underground parking for NY KBBQ located behind the restaurant. For $19pp for lunch, you get an okay amount of meat options, but your food options are mostly vegetables and cooked items. During lunch service, only half of the dining room is in operation, so even though half the restaurant was empty, there was still a 15-minute wait for a party of 4. Service was friendly and attentive though when we got seated. Note the 90-minute limit is tough since you have to get your food, cook your food, and eat your food all in 1.5 hours. read more

AYCE place that's spacious and has a good variety of food options. There are 3 aisles worth of food for you to select from. There's marinated and unmarinated meats (LA GALBI, thick cut pork belly, bulgogi, associated seafood) There's also vegetables, clam chowder, yukejang, and cooked food like japchae, fish, and etc. again, lots of options. Service was also attentive but it could also be because when we were there it wasn't very busy for a Sunday afternoon. Price is $42.95 on Friday, Sat, Sun and weekends. Kids are priced according to height. read more

Went the first time for a party of 11 people. Overall great service, they were very on top of it. Food tasted good, lots of selection and sauce selection. Really enjoyed it. They turned off the lights, put dj lights and a birthday song on for us, it was great. read more

A group of us came here for dinner on a Saturday night and didn't have to wait long for a table! Service was amazing and they offer an assortment of meats you can think one- including my fav, kalbi!! There's also melted cheese, fried rice, ice cream!! Not sure what the time limit was but they didn't rush us at all which we appreciated because some places are not nice about it. Will run you about $50 after tip and tax! Gratuity was auto added for us at 20% for a party size over 10. read more

I have been driving past this place for months now on my way to my daughter's pediatrician. Finally had a chance to drop by this past Friday for lunch. The place looked nice and clean inside and the grill top, I have to say the non-stick on it was really incredible. There were 2 servers or meat cookers. The woman was sort of unpleasant but the man was pretty nice. There's a variety of raw meat, vegetables, side dishes, cooked food, fruits, and ice cream. Brisket - Tasty and not too fatty Pork Butt - Tasty Marinated Pork Butt - Tasty Bulgogi - Tasted like the musk that you get when you are in the back of the H&Y down the street. We complained about this and they tossed the meat for us and checked with the kitchen. Supposedly told them it was fine. Meh... Unmarinated Pork Belly - So incredibly fatty I didn't even try it Spicy pork belly, spicy pork butt, spicy pig ear - All pretty much tasted the same. Spice level was a bit above average Kimchi, radish, cucumber - All tasted of plastic or some fake weird taste that I couldn't put my finger on it. Chicken wings - Yummy General Tsos chicken - Yummy Pepper Steak - NASTY Also note that the sauces also had some type of plastic taste. There was quite a variety of things I didn't try since I had to top my meal off with 3 ice creams. Because well why not? Definitely not a spot that I will be going back to in the future. read more

If I could give this place 0 stars I would.A group of my friends and I were racially profiled and treated like we were going to Dine N Dash. The restaurant doesn't close until 11:30 to start off, and we were rushed out by 10:00. The cashier stared us down for majority of our dinner and just as we were making sure everyone sent their portion of the bill she comes over and demands that we hurry up and pay. She then proceeds to tell us payment cannot be split(we did not ask for this option) and made a snide remark about all of us being on our phones as a way to say we were stalling the process. This is an unacceptable to treat anyone that walks into your establishment! read more

DON'T GO HERE UNLESS YALL WANT FOOD POISONING. Mind y'all I love Korean food I came here during halloween it seemed cleaned at first but when we got the food it tasted old nor fresh same thing with the meats. My bf got the sausage and it was not fresh it tasted like expired. Matter of a fact the bottle of ketchup was expired. the service was ok the people were nice and helpful. The atmosphere was also okay not the best but again in the end i got food poisoning. read more

Searched for a AYCE Korean BBQ in Queens other than our staple/regular AYCE Korean BBQ spots we frequent and came across New York K-BBQ with its $29 weekend dinner AYCE pricing which left us intrigued as that is 1/3 less money than our usual AYCE spots nearby as well in other parts of Queens. So we eagerly arrived late afternoon to a 1/4 full restaurant on Sunday Father's day, alil strange but it's fine - less crowds = more relaxed AYCE experience right? Well we learned it was a average experience even considering the lower cost of entry. Our first server was very friendly and informed us of the details as we were seated, first good impression a plus. Then we ventured to the buffet areas - comparing the selection to other AYCE KBBQ it was less variety and less items for sure. A few beef items, pork, chicken, squid, and veggies as well as a few precooked items. No shell fish nor shrimp. For me the big disappointment was no Galbi -one of my fav cuts - the short ribs. A KBBQ without Galbi? Dessert was frozen small cups of Hersey's ice cream and fresh fruit was cut up oranges (really sweet and larger ones) and honey dew. In terms of quality of the protein cuts and prep/taste I would say - you get what you pay for. Not the better KBBQ and not the worst. Considering the $29 entrance fee it is a good value if you aren't a picky eater or aren't a food lover food like me. But really the worse thing about our experience for the 3 of us was when we were provided the cheque - added to the total was a gratuity of 20% yet clearly posted along the table area said parties of 7+ people or more will be charged 20% gratuity. Plus the "Tip Guide" suggested gratuities on the bottom of the bill was printed the amounts which included the NYS taxes - that should not be the case. When we asked a waitress why with 3 persons we were charged the manditory 20% gratuity and she apologized saying it was a mistake. Very odd mistake. So in summary the 3 of us rather spend 1/3 more and just hit one of the better KBBQ spots the next time we crave a pig out. read more

Decent Korean BBQ spot, but nothing that really stood out. The meat quality was okay--some cuts were better than others--and the flavor was a bit bland compared to other K-BBQ places in the area. Service was polite but a little slow, and we had to flag someone down a few times. The place gets busy, which adds to the energy, but also makes it feel a bit chaotic. It's not bad, but for the price, I was expecting a bit more. Might try it again, but it wouldn't be my first choice. read more

It's been several years since we last had AYCE Korean BBQ in Flushing. New York K-BBQ, with its fresh food and friendly service, is a nice addition to the lineup of Korean restaurants that line Northern Blvd. We had lunch here on a weekday and the place wasn't crowded at all. We had a booth by the window and had a good amount of room to spread out. In terms of meat selections, there's a decent selection including pork belly, spicy pork belly, beef bulgogi, teriyaki chicken, pork shoulder, even chicken gizzards and beef intestines. There's a variety of cooked items including spicy rice cake, jap chae, fried dumplings, fried onion rings, white rice. There were two selections of soup, tofu soup and beef radish soup, both were enjoyable on a cold day. There was a nice salad bar with vegetables and fruits; there were also small bowls of corn cheese and steam egg for you to place on your grill. For dessert, there were cups of ice cream in various flavors sitting in the freezer, including mango and cookies and cream. Our server was friendly and spent a lot of time grilling our food and making recommendations. I hope they keep up with this level of service once they get busier. What I really liked was that I didn't feel weighted down by all the food I consumed, which is rare after visiting a buffet or AYCE. That speaks volumes in terms of the freshness of the food that didn't require heavy seasoning nor heavy sauces. Overall, it's a great AYCE experience for us adults and our two boys. read more

With the $19 per person for lunch, it's no brainer. A good variety of food selection. There are not many meat options but good enough for lunch. Service is also good, they cooked the meat for you. Just keep in mind, there is one hour limit and they do bring check in right on one hour. It also looks neat and clean - though slightly slippery on floor. We will come back. read more

Great AYCE K-BBQ!!! We've been coming here for over a year now, and each and every time we have a great time. The food is always fresh and the service is always friendly and fast. Other K-BBQ are more crowded because of the social media hype, but this place is legit a gem. The quality of their meats is very good and always super fresh! There's also complimentary ice cream for dessert which is nice. If you're looking for welcoming atmosphere and great food this is the place for you. read more

If I could,I would give this place zero stars!!!!! The staff were so rude and they didn't let my baby eat. He began arguing with me about the baby. There was a stroller next to me and they kept insisting us to move the stroller because it was blocking the path despite it being completely empty during peak lunch hours. We also asked them to switch a place to sit and they said no but there was no one. We had a big party and it's their loss! We asked them where to put the stroller they told us to move it outside. They did not let my baby sit with and she is less than one year old!!! Not only that but when we tasted the water they provided us, it has a spicy aftertaste and it tasted like it was not cleaned properly. The food selection was not great and there were not a lot of options to choose from. Do not come to this place!! Almost seemed like they were discriminating us read more

NEW AYCE Korean BBQ restaurant in Queens, NY! I stopped by with my family the other day because we LOVE Korean BBQ. We loved this place because they had so many different types of meat options, side dishes, hot food, homemade soup, and Korean cold noodles (냉면) at the end. We are obsessed with Korean spicy rice cakes (떡뽁이) and you could get as much as you wanted of it! The service was incredible as well. We cooked most of our own meat, but the waiters helped us whenever they were around. It definitely makes it fun to cook your meat right in front of you. They also change the grills for you after every meat, which I thought was very impressive. They even brought us butter to put on top of one of the meats! Don't forget to get some corn cheese and kimchi fried rice to cook on your grill as well! Thank you so much to Mr. Shin and staff for the incredible service. We had such a good time with some good food and drinks. I definitely recommend bringing a bunch of friends or family here and sharing a bunch of different meats to try as much as you can. Everything is delicious! read more

This stretch of Northern Blvd. is intent on saturating AYCE KBBQ. With places like Picnic Garden and Padam Padam within walking distance, this place has a lot of competition. Overall, this place is just so-so. Meat quality and selection is on par with others but it doesn't stand out. Cooked food here is average and the service here left a lot to be desired. Decor and vibe are a bit off IMO, the atmosphere isn't fun. For the price (about $40 per person), I'd rather hit one of the other spots to be honest. I don't think I'll be back unless the other spots in the area are full. read more

New York K-BBQ - Korean Near Me - New York, New York

Not the best AYCE K-BBQ you're going to go to. It's a buffet style location with great options. I've had better quality meats from other places though. The wide selection and the option to get it yourself makes this place a standout among others I've been to. The self-service was great! I prefer that over ordering off of a menu. The servers still came around and cooked our food for us. All in all, this is a good spot if you don't have high standards. It's good for what it is and the food was good. I'd happily come back here before other K-BBQ locations. read more

New York K-BBQ - Korean Near Me - New York, New York

I was hesitant to try this AYCE KBBQ spot given the overall Yelp stars (3 stars as of 7/21/2023) but I am so happy that I gave this restaurant a try! My friends and I decided to dine here for my boyfriend's birthday and we were not disappointed. After some research, I believe this restaurant opened earlier this year and did not do well in the beginning but they definitely made significant improvements as we all enjoyed our meals! New York KBBQ is similar to Picnic Garden where you go up and grab whatever portion of meat, veggies, and sides that you want. They also have a hot food bar with a variety of options and cuisines (i.e. sushi, pasta, garlic shrimp, etc.) I absolutely loved the hot food bar and appreciated that they had unique items that most KBBQ places do not serve. My boyfriend is a die hard Picnic Garden fan (he prefers Picnic Garden over Cast Iron, O2, Padam Padam, etc.) so I was genuinely surprised to hear that he liked this restaurant more. He said New York KBBQ is a cleaner and better Picnic Garden, and that we will be coming here moving forward! Additionally, I really enjoyed the meat as it tasted fresh (specifically the LA kalbi and pork jowl)! They also had butter available for the beef dishes, which added a nice touch to the meat. We also tried the nengmyun (both mul and bibim) and it was a delicious and refreshing addition to our meal. The service here is also unmatched! Our servers were so friendly and made sure that our grills were always changed timely. We never had to wait long for anything and our main server even noticed that my friends loved the clams so he went up and got more for them without us even asking. They made my boyfriend feel so special and I couldn't thank the servers more. I would absolutely recommend this restaurant to anyone who enjoys AYCE KBBQ and I will definitely be back! read more

We went after the spa and enjoyed the food, service and open space. We had the day time special $29.99pp all you can eat and really liked the variety of options - the 2 styles of seasoned bulgogi was great!

We wanted to get KBBQ in Flushing and came across this spot on Yelp. We went on New Year's, which was more expensive than usual. Once we were seated, we went to check out their food lineup. We primarily grabbed their Kalbi, Pork Belly, and Beef Brisket. We also grabbed a big plate of their sides, which was delicious and had a great variety. For the sides, we got some japchae, dukbokki, fish cakes, cheese corn, dumplings, and kimchi fried rice. We noticed that they also had soup available. Also, since we had the dinner option, we got a complimentary steamed egg. The staff cooked for us, which was a different experience from some other spots, and they were extremely helpful. Our favorite was the Kalbi, which we thought was very nicely marinated and juicy. The pork belly and beef brisket were also great with various sauces. To end it off, we got some cups of ice cream and fruit. Overall, we enjoyed our visit and would definitely come back on a non-holiday. read more

Used to come here very frequently until a recent argument with the staff and owner. Family got there first and decided to get a table. I got there 30 minutes later due to traffic and they started being aggressive, saying that I wasn't allowed to sit in the same table with them because of the 90 minute time limit. I told them that my family still had an hour left, and I would be done by then too. Tell me why the waiter and owner yelled at me for that. Throwing the tongs on the table and screaming at a customer, come on really? I didn't break any rules and they want to be nasty. Also, they treat their hispanic workers like trash. Saw the manager screaming at them for not washing dishes faster. It sounded so abusive, he was cursing and making abusive remarks. read more

This is not the place to go if you want good AYCE KBBQ. Go to Cast Iron Pot 3 a few blocks away instead. There are several things that stood out glaringly at this restaurant: 1.) The quality of meats and seafood is poor, being both tough and flavorless. The only item I enjoyed was the complimentary ice cream from Hershey's. 2.) For the quality of meats, the price is expensive. Compared to other AYCE KBBQ places in Queens, $40/person is steep considering how tough and flavorless the offerings were. 3.) The most egregious flaw is that they add automatic gratuity of 18%. I was with my girlfriend, so only two people. I'd understand if it was a larger party of 5+, as that's typical, but automatically adding the gratuity ON TOP OF ASKING FOR ADDITIONAL TIPS on the receipt shows an intentional underhandedness of the owners of this restaurant. Please stay away from this predatory restaurant. read more

Terrible experience. We arrived at 4:30 PM -- the restaurant was completely empty, not a single customer inside -- yet the staff were extremely rude and unwelcoming. They even tried to charge us for our 9-month-old baby, which is completely unreasonable. On top of that, we felt clear discrimination from the Korean staff toward non-Korean customers. Absolutely unacceptable. I would not recommend this place to anyone. This BBQ buffet had very few food options, and most of the items were not fresh. Not worth the price at all. Wouldn't recommend. read more

Don't think I could stomach going back .... I know it's flushing queens but maybe have staff that speaks some better English or understands hand signs because the amount of times I told the TONG MASTER " I've got it, no thanks, no" was uncountable & he ignored me every time. I even put my hands up at one point when he put my food back into the center hot grill after I pushed it to side. -- then I watched him go to 4 tables with the same pair of tongs and not wash them Major health code violations It wasn't the worst meal of my life but possibly the worst k bbq one. The get a one star because I have to and I'm basing this mornings stomach ache off of over eating and hopefully not the quality of burnt food or whatever he brought to my table with the dirty tongs. Raw fish to pork sure ? Oh you don't eat pork for religious reasons ?! V well you do now because the table next to you is. lol Not to mention he kept coming back and flipping my food right after I just flipped it ?!? WTF MAN. & Burning it on purpose ... while KBBBQ is better crispy in Texas too much So I wait in line to pick out my own food. Then I cook it myself(supposed to) ... then I'm charged mandatory 18% gratuity even though they don't deserve it ... $150 for 2 meals and 2 beers + a "sake" Never again. Go get real steaks or hit up H mart and cook at home. I don't believe this pac e will celebrate Xmas 2024 read more

It wasn't very busy when we went, so there were a lot of tables open, but we didn't get seated right away as we were waiting for 1 more person from our party (they start the clock on AYCE once you're seated). We didn't realize they have a parking lot! We parked about 3 blocks away instead, but now you know! It's buffet style where you go and pick your meats to grill, sides, etc, yourself, including the quantities. On one side, this is nice because you can control the portions and try a little bit of multiple things if you want. On the other side, you don't know how long it's been sitting out before you grabbed it. The LA Galbi, Pork Jowl, and Pork Belly were good, but the Brisket was not even recognizable on the palate - too thick, chewy, and taste was off. They also gave us steamed egg, cheese corn, and zucchini pancakes. These were all decent, but the zucchini pancakes could be crispier, so we just tossed them on our grill for a bit. They also started grilling our meats pretty much right away as we left the table to grab some more meat, sides, and sauce. This was a nice touch. They due add automatic 18% gratuity though regardless of party size. read more

First time trying out this spot since it's grand opening . I wanted to see how good it is compared to picnic garden . One thing that stood out is how fast food get cooked on their grills . I remember at picnic garden the food takes forever to get cooked and there is a constant change of grill cover that slows down the food cooking process too . There is none of that at this place . Food tasted surprisingly good so it's on par with picnic garden . I was surprised how much i could eat because I wasn't that hungry to begin with. The interior design of the place is definitely lacking. The service was ok but not great . Last but not least when the bill comes they automatically added 18% tip even though it's just 2 people which I didn't like. I understand if you do that to 6 or more parties but doing that to everybody is gona deter everyone from going there especially service wasn't that great to begin with . It was pretty much empty on a thurs night at 8 pm which was not good . The they don't have as many choices of food and desserts as picnic garden . Some of the fruits looked like they ve been there for a while . read more

There are plenty of Korean BBQ along Northern Blvd, since this place was new, we wanted to give it a try. That will be the first and last time we will be there. I have 2 girls, 11 and 9 years old that went with us. The hostess said they will both be full price $42.99 because they are 5 feet tall. They are NOT 5 feet tall. They are both under 95 lbs, 4 feet 10 at most with sneakers on, and we were upset that they insisted on charging us the adult price. Since it was my dad's birthday I did not want to make a big deal arguing and upsetting the family. In the end, it left a bad taste for my family. Food was mediocre, nothing special. We will not be going back again. If you have children, expect to pay full price. There is a reason why that place is empty on a Friday night read more
